Unfortuantly, something is fouled up in my build directory. I'm tired of the build probs so have begun to move to Ubuntu. --Unfortunately, the readmes are not installed by default.

graphics programd like xpaint and gimp.
I finally realized why I couldn't change the solid-color bg with xpaint. The bucket [icon] is missing; the documentation doesn't reflect this... But *anyway*, to other things-graphic. With gimp, is it possible to create polygons? How about a 5-pointed star? Or 6- or 7-pointed star? I have found some images of what I'm looking for thru Google/images, but the bavkgrounf is not solid for some images, &c. Also, it is possible to join two or three (already-drawn, on-disk) images with gimp? I'm thinking of a circle surrounding a hexagon surrounding a square, e.g. --Part of this is just-for-fun curiosity before I get back to my studies; part of it is to try to create designs for my jottings pages. thanks for any insights, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
